TALKING VULNERABILITY IN MEN

“Vulnerability is the ability to be with uncertainty. And it is about emotional exposure. It's at the core of connection with other people. No one wants to ‘do’ vulnerability, yet I've noticed resistance is stronger in men. We’ve constructed this idea of masculinity that is about coping, providing and being strong. Perceived weakness is not an option for men, largely because it would mean their masculinity is on the line. This costs men dearly."

“Unconscious bias is really a side effect of the way our brain loves to categorise and to stereotype. As human beings, we are able to sift through vast quantities of data on a daily basis and our brain does that by categorising the data. It is not possible to be human and to completely avoid the use of categories and stereotypes".
